I belong the my local YMCA, the Daniel Stowe Y in Gaston County. This Y has all ages, races, and lifestyles. Mostly middle class. I take classes with African Americans and Latinos. Everyone is very friendly. I may not be friends with them but we are all in this together to improve our fitness. People who sweat together feel closer somehow. My trainers there were African American. I like this a lot as I grew up in mostly white cultures in Minnesota and Colorado.
